Filmmaker Kabir Khan, who was in Karachi to attend a marketing seminar, was slammed by some angry protesters at the Karachi airport during his departure today.

The protesters shouted anti-India and pro-Pakistan slogans and questioned the 'Phantom' director on why he did not make similar movies about the Indian intelligence agency Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) activities in Pakistan, reports the Dawn.

"You people send Jhadav and kill hundreds here, why don't you make a movie about it?" a protester asked the Phantom director.

Another shoe-wielding protester chased Khan to the departure lounge, warning the director about "Indian conspiracies against Pakistan army."

However, without any reaction to it, Kabir proceeded toward the lounge.

This protest came on the backdrop of 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' director's flick 'Phantom' which had some anti-Pakistan content and a Saif Ali Khan dialogue "Ghar me Ghuss Ke Marenge."

Earlier, during the conference, Kabir explained his agenda for directing 'Phantom.'

"The purpose of Phantom was to show that there are some factions in both countries that will always try to prevent people to people contact. I strongly believe that whenever terrorists attacks occur, the media of both our countries create a ruckus, which colours the percepton of the people. But when a Chand Nawab and a Bajrangi meet, there will always be friendship," he said.
